Gas Corporation Donates 44 Million Won Worth of Rice to 92 Welfare Facilities in Daegu

Korea Gas Corporation (President Choi Yeon-hye) is celebrating its 40th anniversary by participating in the nationwide "National Breakfast Eating Campaign" led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, while also carrying out a rice-sharing initiative to support underprivileged neighbors.

October 18 marks both the founding day of Korea Gas Corporation and "Rice Day," a day to reflect on the hard work of farmers and the importance of rice. Gas and rice are essential goods indispensable to the daily lives of the people.

Accordingly, starting from the 14th, coinciding with these overlapping anniversaries, the Gas Corporation has launched the "Breakfast Eating Campaign" targeting all employees to actively participate in promoting the consumption of domestic rice and agricultural products.

Furthermore, to support vulnerable groups and provide practical assistance to farming households, the corporation plans to use the entire 44 million KRW in points accumulated from last year's corporate card usage to purchase rice for 92 social welfare facilities in the Daegu area.

The Tongyeong Base Headquarters of Korea Gas Corporation has also been supporting the bonded village in Hansan-myeon, Tongyeong City, since 2009 by providing newly harvested rice to promote consumption. Each business site plans to deliver warmth to vulnerable groups by utilizing local rice and agricultural products during social contribution projects linked to the Chuseok holiday.

A Korea Gas Corporation official stated, "Through this campaign, we expect to bring warmth to vulnerable groups and revitalize the steadily declining rice consumption. Based on our corporate philosophy of 'Good Energy, Better World,' the Gas Corporation will continue to be a strong support for vulnerable groups through various social contribution projects."

At the Gas Corporation headquarters, a social economy enterprise local agricultural product sales event was held using a store booth inside the building, supporting five joint purchase events up to August. Additionally, ingredients for the company cafeteria are purchased from local agricultural products, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.
